    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, Id like to ask anyone with venomous experiences what they think of eyelash vipers in captivity, what are their specific needs and requirements, how bad is their bite and their temperment, and if they can be kept in groups. I ve been keeping rattlesnakes for over a year now but as they are growing a friend of mine is taking over them and I wanted to replace them with something smaller. Any help will be appreciated, thanks
 
Eyelashes are much more demanding then crotalus. Especially babies, as they are that much more fragile. There are a ton of care sheets avail on the net along with some good books. Eyelashes can be housed in groups as can any snake assuming the set up it proper and you are aware of the standard risks.

As Dan said...

They do require more care such as misting and maybe some tease feeding. Most are fairly laid back snake. I do cage maintenance during the day and feed at night. Babies are work because they are so small. If you are going to buy one, get a cb. Here's a pic of one of mine.

wow, thats a really nice little guy, thx for replying, do u recommend getting a baby or a subadult, ive heard from everyone that tease feeding can be a problem, but then again I want to see the animal grow and be able to see it change. what do you think?
 
A juvie

is fun to watch grow but can be work. Ask for feeding pic or buy from a reputable breeder.
